  • What caliber of rifle? NOTE: If it's less than 7.62, I'm going to make fun of you for using a butt pad. Or probably not. Still, me likes that caliber.
    7.62x54R and it's only a 20" barrel so it has some kick to it.
  • I'm buying my first hand-held console ever in a couple of weeks, and, I'll give you a hint, It's not a PSP.

    Boo. Yah.

    ...and it's taken you this long to do so?
  • My electric bill has gone from 680 kWhr to 370.

    Are you getting a DS lite or a DSi?

    DS Lite. It's only $99 refurbished from gamestop.

    Shaddap. I'm not exactly oozing money here.

    I did once. It was a profitable, if disgusting, skin condition. ^_~

    Can you tell me how this is acquired?

    The other night, I helped convince a friend I'd had a falling out with that it was worthwhile for him to go to college, after I got on Facebook at 3 AM and he randomly contacted me. It was a pretty good feeling, and considering the more embarrassing events of that night, I think that I pretty much broke even.

    Also, I've finally started settling on Molecular and Cellular Biology as my major. 99% chance I follow through on it (though probably as a double major with creative writing or Japanese), and if I do, the end result in 8 years with hopefully be a joint M.D./PhD. Life is improving, and despite how awkward and crazy everything feels, at the same time it all feels right.

    Jesus fucking Christ. Good on you for being ambitious!

    Thanks. I realize that sounds absolutely insane, but coming from a family of doctors and realizing the impact studying bio in high school had made on me has really brought me back around to that childhood dream. Bio is something I can say that I legitimately miss studying. I miss everything about that subject.

    Also, that 8 year number was wrong. With residency, it'd be more like 10-12 years, with the last five being a hellish cocktail of residency and graduate study. Despite that change in the number, my ambitions still stand.

    I stand corrected, sir. Pad that butt!
  • At the Sundance Turkish Juggling Festival. The next 5 days are going to be awesome. Except that my sleep pattern is completely screwed!
  • Sundance Turkish Juggling Festival
    I'd like to learn how to juggle just to go to something that sounds as completely badass as that.
  • My invite finally arrived, and I logged into Google Wave for the first time. Pity I won't have time to use it for the next two weeks.
  • I was just named the Undersecretary General of Simulations for our college's annual Model UN conference. For those of you not involved in Model UN, it basically means I get to come up with my own scenarios for historical, current, or future world events, and then run them in what amounts to a sort of massive game of Diplomacy with high school kids. Pretty awesome, I'm really excited.

    So it's like Dungeons and Diplomats? Awesome.

    Yeah, and with a PC set of 50+ people, no less. It's going to rock.

    That sounds pretty awesome. I really should join my school's Model UN...Though I'm not sure if we have as many awesome people at my school...Or if I have the time...*Sigh.*
  • Today, for being teh awesome at juggling, I won a flight on a tandem paraglider! I'll post some photos tomorrow, maybe some video.
  • After some weeks of being pissed off and hating on everything, I have moved on and have taken one more step farther down my path of self enlightenment. I think it's funny that this happened while eating Indian food. It's got to be the curry.

    Lesson learned: "The jacket is no longer a jacket. The jacket is now me..."
  • Just installed an Ergotron LX mount for my Cintiq. I can finally get it in just the right position. No more hunching for me! No back pain, here I come!

    It's... beautiful... -drools-
  • Oh man. I need that. All this time, I thought I needed a taller chair or shorter desk.

    Totally. I actually have a taller chair, but it still ended up with me hunching forward over the desk. This one, I can basically pull right into my lap. You can really put it anywhere you could possibly want it. It's amazing.

    I just had Vegemite on toast for breakfast. This goes in this thread, because I've not had Vegemite on toast for breakfast since I expatriated, and I really missed it - this has only been made worse by Marmite, the local, poor substitute, which tastes of hospital, but now, I have a massive jar of it. This makes me happy.

  • Today life was feeling a bit too mundane, so I removed the screen from my bedroom window and jumped out. Since it isn't much trouble to jump back up (about 8 and 1/2 feet) I am devising a remote-operated covering so I can come ang go as I please while keeping the bugs and lizards out.

    Makes me wish my window wasn't a 12-15 foot fall onto the neighbor's driveway.

    That's awesome. Man, it's been years since I jumped off something high. When I was a kid, we used to jump off the carports at my apartment complex all the time.
